Susan Stephens: 2 Pen Names, 1 Passion for Romance.

Writing under two pen names was always going to be challenging
as I have a busy schedule with Harlequin Presents, but it's such fun I'm
never too busy to explore the ideas I publish as Xandra King.

Xandra delves into the mysteries of the universe- sometimes
dives in, weaving the supernatural and fantasy ideas into myth and legend, but
Xandra's most recent series, COSMIC HOT SHORTS sees Xandra King
firmly back in the contemporary arena exploring the values of friendship
between women. Oh, and hot sex ;) An odd combination, you might think, but
when a group of women get together to discuss lots of things, not least amongst
which is their ailing, or non-existent sex-lives, there are bound to be
developments! In this case they set about finding some great guys for each
other so they can all get more out of life.

The first short in this series by Xandra King - Christmas Nights At The
Ladies Club - available now - tells Jane's story.

Jane
is one of the quietest members of the group, but it is Jane who comes up with
an idea she thinks might help her friends.

Little
does Jane realise just how much her idea is going to help her too! She gets an
inkling when Jake with his 'cobalt blue eyes' walks into Jane's auditions for
hot guys to work the night shift at the Ladies Club.

up for my newsletter - either on my web site or on my SusanStephensAuthor page
on Facebook for news of the next story in this series: Valentine's
Night At The Ladies Club, which will be a late January 2015 release.

There
are 6 shorts in total and my newsletter will not just run contests, but
will let you know all the release dates too so you don't miss any of them.

And
then... I
absolutely have to write a Susan Stephens Christmas Novella too, because
there is nothing I love more than the holiday season when I have every
excuse to load my EReader with every Christmas story I can lay my hands on.
There's something about this time of year when authors write warm and fuzzy,
and readers get that special boost of warmth and love to take them through the
year - or at least it keeps them going until the next romance book they
read!

Christmas
With the Billionaire - available now -is unashamedly warm and fuzzy,
with a strong heroine who has the knack of bringing people together. Kate Black
just can't help herself, even when faced by a Scrooge-like billionaire who
would rather bury himself in work until the holiday season goes away. I can
tell you now - there's no chance of that with Kate around!!

Christmas
With The Billionaire
launches my all-new Black-Heart series - so, if you fall in love with
Kate, just wait until you meet her brothers, Nathan, Bastien, and Elijah Black.
Warning: They may not be quite such warm fuzzies as Kate. In fact, I can tell
you now... they're not!!! But they are hot and challenging, which is what we
like!

*If
you sign up for my newsletter, either on my web site at www.susanstephens.com or at

newsletter Contests as well as release dates for all my books.

And
here's my question for you, with a special - 2 - Hooray! - because it's the
holiday season - $10 prizes, drawn at random for the winners...

What's
your favourite thing about the holiday season?

Or,
would you prefer to join Jason Kent, my billionaire, from Christmas With The
Billionaire, and just hide away until it's all over?

Make
us laugh, make us cry with laughter, make us think - We can't wait to share
your ideas!!

A
belated, but no less sincere Happy Thanksgiving! to all my
wonderful friends from the US, and a very happy run up to one of the busiest
times of the year for everyone!

With the season upon us it is a wonderful and special time to appreciate gettogethers with friends and family whom we see rarely which is precious. As time goes on I realize that this is what matters and meals, storytelling and enjoyment is important.
